Manchester United must defeat Athletic Bilbao if they are to have any chance of reaching the Europa League quarter-finals.

Manchester United travel to Spain tomorrow evening knowing that only a win is a required if they are to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

However, a 1-0 victory will not be enough for the Red Devils, having lost 3-2 to Athletic Bilbao at Old Trafford last week.

If United are to progress, they will have to do it without the injured Nani, Anderson and Phil Jones.

Winger Antonio Valencia is fit and is expected to be named among the substitutes.

Hosting Bilbao will recall Ander Herrera, Javi Martinez and Fernando Llorente after the trio were rested at the weekend.

United have managed to win just three European matches this season from nine outings.

Current form:

Bilbao: WWDWWL
Man United: DWWWLW

Possible lineups:

Bilbao: Iraizoz; Iraola, San Jose, Amorebieta, Aurtenetxe; Martinez, Herrera; Susaeta, De Marcos, Muniain; Llorente

Man United: De Gea; Rafael, Ferdinad, Evans, Evra; Young, Cleverley, Scholes, Welbeck; Hernandez, Rooney

Sports Mole says: 2-2
